Wow!!	November 3, 2009
Reviewer: Susan Wells from Jacksonville, NC United States

I'm hooked! I was skeptical, but for financial and environmental reasons wanted to try this kit. I was amazed at the results! Clean, fresh-smelling, SOFT laundry, with NOTHING but the homemade detergent. Takes only a few minutes to mix up, and I only used 2T for VERY large loads. Got out stains that had not come out with BLEACH! Gave some to my married daughter, and she's impressed, too. Our emails have sounded like commercials for your kit! GREAT service and quick shipping from your company, too.

THANKS!

Love the product, but one little problem	August 25, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Norfolk, VA United States

I have been using this product for over a year now, and love the job it does. I only have one problem, my FELS Naptha soap does not dissolve well when I use the powdered recipe. I don't know if this is my washing machine or the type of water, but I have switched back to the gel recipe.

Love it!	February 12, 2009
Reviewer: Laurie�H. from Pflugerville,�TX�United States

I have a front loading washing machine, and they are notorious for developing a moldy smell after awhile which does get on the clothes. After using the homemade detergent a few times, the smell is gone! My clothes are also softer using this detergent alone than when I used store bought detergent and fabric softener together. I'll definitely continue using it!

Great Laundry Detergent!	February 4, 2009
Reviewer: Patricia�Self from Deatsville,�AL�United States

With my former washer (Maytag), it did a fine job and I had no complaints. With my new one (Kenmore), it does even better. I'm so happy with the kit (saves so much time locating the ingredients) and the fact that the Fels Naptha is pre-ground. Thank you so much!

Super stuff!	May 12, 2008
Reviewer: Megan�Hennessy from Menard,�TX�United States

It is so easy to make this stuff. I used recipe #3. This makes laundry detergent that cleans yours clothes instead of just covering them up w/ smells. My children have sensitive skin and using scent free detergent is one way of preventing breakouts. This detergent does have a nice, simple, CLEAN smell! I love it! I am going to continue using this because it works and its cheap!

Homemade Laundry Detergent	January 10, 2008
Reviewer: Robin from Dunlow,�WV�United States

I received my order yesterday for the kit to make my own laundry detergent. I started using it today, and WOW!...I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
I surfed the net looking for other reviews/tips on this practical way to do laundry. I found a site that had a LOT of info on this. And I found a useful tip that I tried and thought I would share on this site.
Commercial types of laundry detergent contain a substance that 'bonds' with chemicals that cause water to be labeled as 'hard water', and helps to carry them away with the washwater instead of allowing them to remain on the clothing...which produces dingy/yellowish white or light colored garments. I decided to try my homemade stuff on my whites, and added 1 or 2 tbsp. of commercial (cheap!) laundry detergent. It worked brilliantly! I did NOT add bleach to my whites and they are absolutely WHITE! I am amazed!

wonderful laundry detergent	October 15, 2007
Reviewer: Cathy B from Minong, WI United States

Wow this is amazing stuff. After the very first wash load I noticed my clothes were brighter in color then they have been in years! It also worked great on extremely dirty loads too!

Bad rating	September 27, 2007
Reviewer: Karen�Glover from Altus,�OK�United States

I bought the kit a few months ago, and I used it for all that time. I found that over time my clothes became dingy looking so I switched back to using store bought detergent. I still use the soap in the kit for stains, which it is great on. I and my whole family have found that all our clothes look dirtier than when we used the store bought stuff. Save your money and don't buy.

Laundry Soap	January 6, 2007
Reviewer: Kristy �Quail from Sheffield Lake,�OH�United States

Made my own with Fels-using the dry mix! WOW! My clothes are very soft and my towels feel and look like new. After the 2nd washing of your existing clothes- the detergent will be gone and you will NEVER use fabric softner or dryer sheets again!

What a wonderful safe effective alternative!	October 30, 2006
Reviewer: Mediterranean Maven from CORAL GABLES,�FL�United States

I just tried a batch of the Fels Naptha Laundry soap recipe and I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results. Even my husband's grimey golf clothes came out clean and soft. You may find that you don't even need a separate fabric softener with this recipe. I tried the soap flakes version that you don't have to melt over the stove to see if it really worked and I definitely noticed a difference. All of the loads of laundry came out clean, soft and fresh-smelling, from the delicates to the towels. I highly recommend this alternative to anyone looking not only to save money but use a safe, green alternative to commercial laundry detergents. It's so rewarding to know that a clean load of laundry is only a few steps away in your kitchen and not several dollars and miles away at the store. Try it and you'll never go back to commercial brands.
